Hi,

I have a WCF web service developed with VS2010 targeting .Net Framework 4 which utilizes a serialization class generated from a xsd schema using xsd.exe.

When I request the xsd from the service (http://localhost:59120/Service1.svc?xsd=xsd2) the element attributes are ignored. E.G. in the schema snippet below () should be an attribute ().
